Re: Display CDialog app inside a web browser like IE

You compile your app into native code, right? If so, it cannot be allowed inside a browser through other means than an ActiveX control. Since any native code is a potentially severe security threat, the user would first have to install the ActiveX control.

Generally speaking, no.

To let your activex be loaded your customer must allow the loading, like allowing activex in IE settings and handling the dialog you saw in your DHTML project. To avoid that annoying dialog popping up you have to register your activex as safe for loading and execution. To overcome some paranoid IE security settings some customers might have you have to have your activex digitally signed. To avoid misunderstandings with reliable deploying you may have to provide it be downloadable from web. A lot of interesting stuff waits for you on this road.

Especially if the customers don't use IE and instead use a browser like Firefox....

All advice is offered in good faith only. You are ultimately responsible for effects of your programs and the integrity of the machines they run on.

To further complicate things, when users install your activex add-in, they would also need to install MFC unless you statically link to MFC in your control. Either way, it's a big download. If the activex component is for a limited group of users (like you're part of the IT group within a company), then it's not too big of a problem because you can control the environment. However, if your target consumer is the general public, you may want to rethink the whole MFC/ActiveX approach because most users will not install an ActiveX control.
